However, the group still requests that customers conserve electricity.
“The public should follow their service providers’ directions regarding local outages, tips for conservation & safety,” the tweet stated.
Late Tuesday night, Evergy officials said they were “on standby” to initiate a third round of outages, but they were never called to do so.
